The Federal Reserve faces a cooling job market as well as persistently high prices, Chair Jerome Powell said in written testimony Tuesday, a shift in emphasis away from the Fed's single-minded fight against inflation of the past two years that suggests it is moving closer to cutting interest rates. The Fed has made “considerable progress” toward its goal of defeating the worst inflation spike in four decades, Powell said in his testimony to the Senate Banking Committee.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday testifies before the Senate Banking Committee in a hearing likely to take stock of whether recent signs of slowed inflation and a slowing U.S. job market will prompt the central bank to accelerate its plans to cut interest rates. At the Fed's June 11-12 meeting the median projection of 19 officials was for just a single quarter-point rate cut by the end of the year, but since then inflation data has come in weaker than expected and several policymakers - including Powell - have begun noting concerns about a slowing job market. Data last week showed firms added a still-healthy 206,000 jobs in June, but revisions to prior months show the trend is lower, and Powell in recent public comments said the U.S. may be at the point where further weakening in the economy causes a jump in the unemployment rate.  ( 62 min )

"It is an unlawful attempt to hijack this limited interconnection service agreement amendment proceeding that they have no stake in and turn it into an ad hoc national referendum on the future of data center load," Talen said in its filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.  ( 69 min )

Shares of headphone maker Koss Corp. soared for the second session in a row on Friday, closing at $13.35 a share, after trading as high as $18.50 early in the day, as social media posts speculated that a post by meme stock influencer Keith Gill indicated his interest in the company.

The U.S. central bank still needs more data before cutting interest rates to ensure that recent weaker inflation readings give a true picture of what is happening to underlying price pressures, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Tuesday. Data for May showed the Fed's preferred measure of inflation did not increase at all that month, while the 12-month rate of price increases has ebbed to 2.6%, still above the central bank's 2% target but on the way down. "We just want to understand that the levels that we're seeing are a true reading on what is actually happening with underlying inflation," Powell said at a monetary policy conference in Portugal sponsored by the European Central Bank.  ( 69 min )

Just weeks after a U.S. appeals court blocked a Black-owned venture capitalist from funding women-of-color-led businesses, the ruling has had a chilling effect across the small industry of diversity-focused venture capital funds, according to founders, investors and lawyers who spoke to Reuters. The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in early June found an anti-affirmative action group's lawsuit that accused Fearless Fund of discrimination would likely succeed, reversing a judge's decision to allow the firm to continue making grants while the case proceeded. The Fearless Fund, established in 2019 to bridge the gap in venture capital funding for women of color, is facing a lawsuit by the American Alliance for Equal Rights, run by conservative activist Edward Blum, who led the successful U.S. Supreme Court challenge to the consideration of race as a factor in college admissions.  ( 71 min )
